Ritesh P. - PeerSpot reviewer
It's more scalable and flexible than our previous solution because we don't need to install any agents
The reporting works well, but sometimes the severity classifications are inaccurate. Sometimes, it flags an issue as high-impact, but it should be a lower severity. For example, it might highlight an exposed AWS encryption key, a critical compliance issue, but it isn't tagged as a high-risk problem. That only happens about 10 percent of the time. It shows a true positive 80-90 percent of the time.
Burak AKCAGUN - PeerSpot reviewer
A robust and cost-effective solution, excelling in scalability, on-premises support, and responsive technical support, making it well-suited for enterprises navigating stringent regulatory environment
The most crucial aspect is runtime protection, specifically image scanning before preproduction and deployment. Customers find it invaluable to have the ability to check for vulnerabilities in an image before deployment, similar to a sandbox environment. This feature ensures that customers can identify any potential issues with the image, such as misconfigurations or vulnerabilities, before integrating it into their workloads and infrastructure. In their source pipeline, companies can identify issues before deploying changes. This is crucial because customers prefer resolving any problems or misconfigurations before the deployment process. Software change security, including GSPM Cloud, is a key feature customers seek in their infrastructure.
MatthewSnyder - PeerSpot reviewer
Accelerates decision making and reduces alert fatigue with smart event consolidation
I believe they are on the right path. However, Wiz has a unique way of identifying issues. As part of its growth and maturity, I'm noticing that it is taking an approach where it not only detects problems but also provides solutions to fix them. This expansion into a more comprehensive ecosystem allows it to become a 360-degree product. Instead of just continuously pointing out findings and detections, it starts to integrate with existing solutions, reducing the cycle of repeated issues. We can learn from these mistakes, and ideally, they will only occur once, allowing us to address them effectively. I appreciate the continued growth in this partnership, as it aims to reduce the number of findings over time by tackling the root of the problem. One significant area for improvement would be increasing automation. While they excel at identifying issues, we need assistance in minimizing the human hours required for tasks. Ideally, the process would become more automated, allowing us to quickly respond with steps such as: we found an issue, reached out, and fixed it immediately. In cybersecurity, if it takes several hours to address a concern and a human attacker is present, that delay can lead to severe consequences. We need more immediate measures in our response strategies.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security offers security solutions for both Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines."
"I would definitely recommend SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security for infrastructure security."
"The multi-cloud support is valuable. They are expanding to different clouds. It is not restricted to only AWS. It allows us to have different clouds on one platform."
"Singularity Cloud Security's most valuable features are its ease of scalability and comprehensive security measures."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its storyline, which helps trace an event back to its source, like an email or someone clicking on a link."
"With SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security, it's easy to onboard new accounts."
"The visibility is the best part of the solution."
"The visibility SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."
"Valuable features include the ability to connect it to our Docker Hub where our images are stored, good integration with Slack, and the connection to the CV, to easily see which CVs are on each image."
"The CSPM product is great at securing our cloud accounts and I really like the runtime protection for containers and functions too."
"Support is very helpful."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to use and manage."
"Aqua Security helps us to check the vulnerability of image assurance and check for malware."
"We use Aqua Security for the container security features."
"The DTA, which stands for Dynamic Threat Analysis, allows me to analyze Docker images in a sandbox environment before deployment, helping me anticipate risks."
"Aqua Security allowed us to gain visibility into the vulnerabilities that were present in the container images, that were being rolled out, the amount of risk that we were introducing to the platform, and provided us a look into the container environment by introducing access control mechanisms. In addition, when it came to runtime-level policies, we could restrict container access to resources in our environment, such as network-level or other application-level access."
"The product's most valuable feature combines different contexts and attributes to produce highly confident alerts."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"Wiz has helped my organization achieve zero criticals in its issue queues after a month."
"Our most important features are those around entitlement, external exposure, vulnerabilities, and container security."
"I rate Wiz's customer service as ten out of ten."
"Wiz has helped my organization by allowing us to analyze the critical issues and providing the best way to mitigate these issues with step-by-step guidance."
"The first thing that stood out was the ease of installation and the quick value we got out of the solution."
"The CSPM module has been the most effective. It was easy to deploy and covered all our accounts through APIs, requiring no agents. Wiz provides instant visibility into high-level risks that we need to address."
 

Cons

"There can be a specific type of alert showing that a new type of risk has been identified."
"Singularity Cloud Security currently lacks a break-glass account function, which is a critical component for implementing Single Sign-On as it allows for regaining access in emergencies."
"There is room for improvement in the current active licensing model for SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security."
"We can customize security policies but lack auditing capabilities."
"When you find a vulnerability and resolve it, the same issue will not occur again. I want SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security to block the same vulnerability from appearing again. I want something like a playbook where the steps that we take to resolve an issue are repeated when that issue happens again."
"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."
"While SentinelOne offers robust security features, its higher cost may present a challenge for budget-conscious organizations."
"I don't get email alerts. I always have to go to the dashboard and check which point needs attention without email alerts."
"Aqua Security lacks a lot in reporting."
"Since we are working from home, we would like to have the proper training for Aqua."
"There's room for improvement, particularly in management capabilities as it may not be comprehensive enough for all customers, and it has been lacking in the realm of cloud security posture management."
"The integrations on CICD could be improved. If Aqua had more plugins or container images to integrate and automate more easily on CICD, it would be better."
"They want to release improvements to their product to work with other servers because now there are more focused on the Kubernetes environment. They need to improve the normal servers. I would like to have more options."
"Aqua Security could provide more open documentation so that their learning resources can be more easily accessed and searched through online. Right now, a lot of the documentation is closed and not available to the public."
"In the next release, Aqua Security should add the ability to automatically send reports to customers."
"Aqua Security could improve the forwarding of logging into Splunk and into other tools, it should be easier."
"The APIs are currently quite limited and not very mature, which makes integration with Splunk difficult."
"We wish there were a way, beyond providing visibility and automated remediation, to wait on a given remediation, due to a critical aspect, such as the cost associated with a particular upgrade... We would like to see preventive controls that can be applied through Wiz to protect against vulnerabilities that we're not going to be able to remediate immediately."
"We noticed some capabilities that were lacking, specifically ignoring some false-positive Issue findings. The good news - with the latest update, this has been resolved."
"We're looking at some of the data compliance stuff that they've got Jon offer. I know they're looking at container security, which we gonna be looking at next."
"The reporting should be improved because until a few months ago, the reports were only in CSV format, which made it difficult to clean up. Wiz tried to improve the reporting process, but it's not as valuable as Tenable."
"Wiz's reporting capabilities could be refined a bit. They are making headway on that, but more executive-style dashboards would be nice. They just implemented a community aspect where you can share documents and feedback. This was something users had been requesting for a while. They are listening to customer feedback and making changes."
"One significant issue is that the searches are case-sensitive, so finding a misconfigured resource can become very challenging."
"It would be better if, when you get an alert type, you are able to view the regex or alert logic without having to dig through all the different options; it is difficult to find where the alert logic is because you have to go to the investigations and then actually find and search for the individual alert."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not expensive. The product is in its initial growth stages and appears more competitive compared to others. It comes in different variants, and I believe the enterprise version costs around $55 per user per year. I would rate it a five, somewhere fairly moderate."
"PingSafe's pricing is good because it provides us with a solution."
"The cost for PingSafe is average when compared to other CSPM tools."
"PingSafe is affordable."
"The pricing is fair. It is not inexpensive, and it is also not expensive. When managing a large organization, it is going to be costly, but it meets the business needs. In terms of what is out there on the market, it is fair and comparable to what I have seen, so I do not have any complaints about the cost"
"It was reasonable pricing for me."
"It is not that expensive. There are some tools that are double the cost of PingSafe. It is good on the pricing side."
"For pricing, it currently seems to be in line with market rates."
"Dealing with licensing costs isn't my responsibility, but I know that the licenses don't depend on the number of users, but instead are priced according to your workload."
"They were reasonable with their pricing. They were pretty down-to-earth about the way they pitched their product and the way they tried to close the deal. They were one of the rare companies that approached the whole valuation in a way that made sense for our company, for our needs, and for their own requirements as well... They will accommodate your needs if they are able to understand them and they're stated clearly."
"Aqua Security is not cheap, and it's not very expensive, such as Splunk, they are in the middle."
"It comes at a reasonable cost."
"The pricing of this solution could be improved."
"I wish the pricing was more transparent."
"If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price as a five out of ten."
"The cost of the other solutions is comparable to Wiz."
"The pricing is fair and comparable to their competitors. The cost seems to be going up, which is a concern. There are potential savings from consolidating tools, but we're uncertain how Wiz's pricing will change over time."
"The pricing is fair. Some of the more advanced features and functionalities and how the tiers are split can be somewhat confusing."
"Regarding pricing, it’s more than $100k because we have a very big infrastructure. Our environment supports around three thousand people, and we offer business-to-client financial services to around one million clients, so we rely heavily on Wiz."
"Based on the features and capabilities, the product pricing seems reasonable."
"Wiz is a moderately priced solution, where it is neither cheap nor costly."
